| 5.2.1 | Routing protocols

Confusion about the terms routed protocol and routing protocol is common. Routed protocols are protocols that are moved over a network. Examples of such protocols are Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX). Routing protocols route routed protocols through a network. Examples of these protocols include IGRP, Enhanced IGRP, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), OSI routing, Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), and RIP. Put simply, computers (or end systems) use routed protocols, such as IP, to "talk to each other," whereas routers (or intermediate systems) use routing protocols to "talk to each other" about networks and paths.
